Fat L The acting was superb but this woman was way too intelligent to begin with to make this believable. They should have made her dumb. Because only a dumb woman would have stayed in a house like that for more than a day. She has family so she has outside resources to get out. It just doesn't make sense given the characters intelligence. I think the interpretation of the real story is way off. I don't doubt people live this way but I do doubt their intelligence levels. It was more annoying than anything else. I think her subservient behavior from the beginning would have been more on point to reality. Religious women are morons. They tolerate anything. It was also more realistic than he held a gun to her and beat her from day one. If she was this level of intelligent, she had to have been there under duress from day one. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Victoria W I’m sorry but this lady was so naive and stupid and it clearly shows. Why would you go move in with a man you don’t even know. I would’ve went with my family before anything. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Stephanie G I hate that this movie skips over so much context, such as the time frame between her husband getting incarcerated to her closing the bookstore. I also read that they actually had TWO businesses, so why couldn’t either of them sustain them for five years while husband was imprisoned? I doubt that any of the alleged conversations Musa had with the husband were real and why Laura would believed it. I didn’t understand why she was so comfortable just moving in with his wife and 16 kids!! She was allegedly only there temporarily until she got a job and place, however she was never shown trying to get a job. I know this is supposed to be based on a true story but a lot of it seems like a made for Hollywood movie. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
